I would prefer that all members go into their profile and add their location and age.

At some point I will be going in and asking each of you to do so in a personal message.

So please, do this one on your own. If you don't at some point I will make you.

The location is more of a want to know kind of thing.

The age I'm finding I would really like to know because with some of out members being teenages we get some post that ask questons that ....show their age. I have nothing against teenages being here, but I would like to know if I'm talking to a 40 yr old or a 14 yr old.I will ask all of you to be careful, but if I know you are 14 I will have a little more patience and will explain things a little more.

Right now this is a firm request, but is is kinda manditory. If you don't add the info I will at some point ask you in a PM.

I'm a small time automatic knife collector, I've built a few, repaired a lot, no I don't sell them,I tend to focus on the machinery rather than the cosmetic appearance.

hello, im from philadelphia,missisippi. been making knives on an amatuer level for 4 years. all self taught, had to start from complete scratch. buy and build my way up. i first got interested in making knives after seeing "the hunted" since then ive been hooked. im into exotic blades especially, and found this website through google search. must say this is the best knife and exotic weapons site anywhere!!! for me a real dream. thanks for having me on... chad mcdonald age 36 :idea:

yup, joining the CA ARNG in may, and right now the plan is to do college for two years, then go active and hit as many schools as i see fit while being in the 21B. i may want to go active after BCT and A-school, but i'll see how i feel then, but when i sign up it is under the college first program in case i don't change my mind, and if i do, then i just can stop doing that program and go active.

well lets see I am 27 from northern british columbia, I have been interested in spring loaded weaponry since the tender age I saw predatore of 14, ever since I saw predator. I love the wrist mounted spike and am currently trying to wrap my mind around the expanding shuriken from predator versus alien and avpR. any ideas?

I am 18 and from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Which is in Canada. I have been interested in blades since the tender age of 4. Swords mainly, but always stole knives from our local store. I always wanted a switchblade, but they are illegal here.

Hi, names Roger, I'm 20 years old and live in Oregon.I'm not really a fan of forearm blades (SAW is an exceptions ) I'm more of a projectile kind of guy, I came to this site to find out about wrist mounted mechanics and a good way to safely make them. I made a cheap SAW blade (although it wasn't SAW that I saw it on . pun intended ) when I was about 15 but I neglected to put a metal plate on the back of my hand, when the blade came out I had a lot of explaining to do to my mom as to why my hand was wrapped in a bloody T-shirt

I'm a CTI in the US Navy and SWCC qualified. Been making my own blades for years, but not professionally, only as a hobby. Very interested in creating a forearm automatic deployment/retraction blade. Look forward to getting to know you guys.

im 14 years old and the hidden blade of assassins creedjust inspired me.(ok where i live you need to be 18+ but it is so good!!) i have'nt build anything yet but i know someone who can get me some sheets of metal, but itsvacation(not that it is a bad thing ) so i will build it afther the vacation. i have a lot of schetches lying aroundand have an idee how i will make it. but this will i will share in the forum for assassins creed's hidden blade

hi,im adam kavanagh but all my friends call us kavna for short,im 14 and im from newcastle which is in england and im interested in engineering but more specifically weapons engineering.i might be allowed to build a spring loaded,wrist mouted baton for my engineering BTEC but it depends on the design and my behavior in in lessons.

I have posted a few things but am glad to drop some info for the many that visit here. I like all that I see except I dont see any Tesla type stuff. I got a bamboo staff and no arc generator to put in it, lol. Lotsa blades though.

Hi, my name is Daniel Bertolino, age 15, resident of Pine Hill, New Jersey, United States of America. Am not immature, and the best part of forums, you can blow off steam before you post, no immediate response needed unless otherwise requested, with time to check spelling and such, as to make sure of a complete post with little incoherent psychobabble.

I have a spring-assisted knife, two cheap display katana, a hunting knife, just for show, two daggers, a airsoft gun(needs new magazine), a pellet gun(broken), a 2007 limited edition knife set, and that's about it. Me and my dad are going to be working on a display case soon, I opted for one I can't get into myself, or him for that matter, atleast not without having to break it open, much like emergency case, and I hope to put the fact my mom's a stained glass artist to good use, get her to teach me, and build a fancy stained glass cover for the case. I have an overreactive imagination at times(I swear I see faces on this one tree, different ALL the time) and have currently, more design then I care for, due to expenses and such, as well as lack of tool access, as well as lack of proper safety equipment. Also, I lurked for QUITE some time, so I'm no stranger to the ideas here. Also Sinza, will you PLEASE put up an exotic vehicle thread, 'cause I have SO many ideas for vehicles, it's not even funny.

I have many philosophies, such as the idea that brushing your teeth with your left hand(as opposed to the normal right handed brush) does not mean your doing something wrong, just different. As well, I believe safety before actual use is top priority where it can be applied. Made a gun? Now build a vice and and tie rope around the trigger, go a ways back, and THEN test fire, you risk the gun instead of your hand, because until regenerating limb medications(hopefully not produced by the pharmacutical company) is produced, you can build a new gun, NOT a new hand, because face it, if you the choice between prosthtic versus real, real always wins, except a single eye that has a built in camera, now that's just *censored* cool! And lastly, what you do to YOUR body in terms of drug use is your matter, so long your not going out on a mass murder spree because of it, likewise, what you do in your home, is your business, so long it does not risk other's lives without their consent, or safety precautions took beforehand to reduce said risk.

I also go more by my experiences and logic than by norm standards, and so, I tend to self-teach myself almost everything. Like jet aircrafts(specifically the engine ATM 'cause without an engine, even if the elevators work, doesn't matter if the turbine won't start, or there's a leak in the fuel injector.)So, I think more in terms of "how hard will it be" instead of "is it possible" because it's more a matter of how hard you have to work rather than whether or not it's possible, 'cause we thought artificial gravity was a hoax 'til now, but NASA is pulling no punches here:P

Oh, and don't ask me about the government, I'm not one for corrupt leaders, no matter how nice they appeared. "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Thought I'd go all out and save this thread one less topic.Sorry!

Hey Wolfman Dan, Welcome to the Forums! And I agree. Brushing your teeth with your left hand does not make you wrong. just different. Or maybe a southpaw.

Name:Daniel/Danny From Middlesborough in the great country of the UK always had an interest in blades but hard to get hold of cause of the countryand i practice parkour n bout to strt aikido:Doh and im 15:P

Also known as a Retractable Forearm Dagger, Xiphoid is a class of weapons with a blade that is retractable into a forearm worn wristband/bracer sheath. Designed for swift and quick surprise attacks. It is notable for being evolved from the Katar and the Pata, punching swords with the blade sitting inline with the users fist..

There's two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down.
You've got your 'talkers' and you've got your 'doers'.
Most people are just talkers, all they got is talk. But when all is said and done, it's the doers who change this world. And when they do that, they change us. And thats why we never forget them...
So which one are you? Do you just talk about it or do you stand up and do something about it? Because believe you me, all the rest of it is just bullshit.
